I think I've found how to attach pictures. Here's one I just took. Not too good, but you can see it anyway.

That is a very cool set! By the way, is that a console in the bottom left corner of your photo?

I remember being a small child (in the 80's) and remember my grandpartents had what i now can identify simply as a zenith roundie. I remember thinking it was way cooler than my parents TV. I dont recall much about it. Ill ask my grandfather what ever happened to it.

Grandfolks ALWAYS have the COOLER stuff! Mine had color in the '60's whereas I had to buy my OWN color set in the 80's!

Yes they do, my Grandfather was a TV repairman, he had all the coolest stuff. TVs everywhere! Drool... I wish I could have gotten to know him better, he passed away when I was very young

My grandmother used to give me some cool radios she'd find at garage sales. But my uncle and his father-in-law were both into radio and TV repair. Back in '71 when I was about 15 they were cleaning out their basements on two different occasions and I was invited to take anything I wanted. I took a friend with me and we were both just in hog heaven. As my uncle's father-in-law repaired radios and TV's professionally in the 50's and 60's I remember a LARGE number of old color sets sitting around in HIS basement (like these CTC-11's). But we both went for the radios and related parts as they were more within our (limited) scope of repair ability at the time.
